"Fantastic school with a great community spirit!"

I've been impressed with the way the teachers engage with the children and promote the school's values. My child loves the Pirate Ship facility and the nurture provision has made a big difference to their confidence. We feel very lucky to be part of the Fleetdown community.

"Some positives and areas for improvement"

We've been happy with the school's curriculum and the way they promote online safety. However, we've experienced some difficulties with communication from the school and felt that our concerns weren't always listened to. Overall, it's a good school but could do with some tweaks to improve the parental experience.

"Great school with excellent staff"

My child attended Fleetdown for 6 years and we were consistently impressed with the quality of teaching and care provided. The school's focus on the Golden Thread values has helped them develop into a kind and responsible young person. I would highly recommend it to other parents.
